Although the soldiers of the Black Dragon Army were united in front of outsiders, there were still some conflicts between them.
In fact, it was not uncommon for there to be conflicts between the soldiers of the Black Dragon Army.
Usually, the soldiers of the Black Dragon Army under the command of the weaker Chiliarch would be wary of the soldiers of the Black Dragon Army under the command of the stronger Chiliarch.
After all, if things got out of hand, the one who would be at a disadvantage would be the one with the weaker Chiliarch.
In the past, Huang Jibing was ranked in the top three among the ten Chiliarchs in the Black Dragon Army. No one dared to provoke the 1,000 soldiers of the Black Dragon Army under his command. Therefore, they had always felt superior.
Some time ago, the soldiers of the Black Dragon Army under Captain Huang Jibing's command learned of the death of their captain. Apart from grieving over the death of their captain, they were also worried that they would have a hard time in the future.
After all, the next Chiliarch might not be as strong as their previous Chiliarch.
Due to this reason, when they found out there was a new captain in the Black Dragon Army who used to be under Captain Huang Jibing's command, they were a little nervous.
This was because they did not know how strong the new Chiliarch was.
If the new Chiliarch was too weak, they would no longer feel superior in front of the other soldiers of the Black Dragon Army.
Moreover, many soldiers of the Black Dragon Army would come looking for trouble with them because of old grudges.
In the past, when Huang Jibing was still around, the soldiers of the Black Dragon Army did not dare to look for trouble with them.
Now that Captain Huang Jibing was gone, the soldiers of the Black Dragon Army would certainly not let go of the opportunity to "settle scores" and "add insult to injury" when the new captain was not strong enough.
Just as the soldiers of the Black Dragon Army under Huang Jibing's command were feeling anxious, a voice rang out from the Black Dragon Army.
"Soldiers of the former Chiliarch Huang Jibing, come out and welcome your new Chiliarch, Duan Lingtian!"
A loud voice rang out from high up in the sky, and it reached the ears of the Black Dragon Army that was originally under Captain Huang Jibing's command, startling them back to their senses.
"The new Chiliarch is here?"
"This voice sounds like Chiliarch Jian Qiuping … It seems like the new chiliarch followed him here."
"Logically speaking, since a new chiliarch has replaced Chiliarch Huang Jibing, he should have come to meet us … I wonder what his temper is like, and if he's easy to get along with."
"I don't care what his temper is like, and I don't care if he's easy to get along with … I just hope that even if he's not as good as Captain Huang Jibing, he won't be too much weaker than Captain Huang Jibing."
…
When they heard that the new chiliarch had arrived, the soldiers of the Black Dragon Army who were originally under Huang Jibing's command all leaped into the air and flew toward the source of the voice.
Along the way, they couldn't help but discuss spiritedly.
Most of them only hoped that their new chiliarch would not be too weak!
As for the rest, they didn't care.
High up in the sky, Duan Lingtian who was dressed in purple walked in the air with his hands behind his back. He followed behind Jian Qiuping at a moderate pace and arrived at the sky above the few valleys.
When he looked down, he saw that there were many tents in the valleys.
There were only slightly more than a hundred tents in the valleys that were filled with birds chirping and flowers blooming. They were rather sparsely spaced.
'These tents should be the tents of the centurions and decurions under my command.'
It was not difficult for Duan Lingtian to figure this out.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
The sound of wind whistling rang in Duan Lingtian's ears. Small black dots appeared in his field of vision. It was like a swarm of locusts as they flew toward the area where he and Jian Qiuping were standing.
With just a glance, Duan Ling Tian could see there were about 700 to 800 people from the Black Dragon Army who had leaped into the air.
He was not surprised by this.
Although he had 1,000 Black Dragon Army soldiers under his command, he was certain some of them were not here because they were on a mission.
"Captain Jian Qiuping, you've already fulfilled Commander Chen's orders … There's no need for you to take care of the rest."
Duan Lingtian looked at Jian Qiuping who stood at the side like a block of wood and said nonchalantly, "Captain Jian Qiuping, you don't have to worry about me anymore."
"Captain Duan Ling Tian, don't be anxious … I'll wait for them to arrive and speak to them before leaving."
Jian Qiuping smiled faintly as a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.
"What? Are you going to tell them that their captain is just a Violet Moon Heavenly Celestial? "
Duan Lingtian looked at Jian Qiuping calmly as though he could see through Jian Qiuping.
"Humph!"
Jian Qiuping scoffed when he heard Duan Lingtian's words. Then, he stood where he was and waited for the Black Dragon Army soldiers under Duan Lingtian's command to arrive.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
A gentle breeze blew as more than 800 Black Dragon Army soldiers appeared in front of Duan Lingtian in a neat formation. They were divided into three groups.
There were only eight people in the first group.
There were only 70 people in the second group.
There were more than 700 people in the third group.
Although the black armors worn by these three groups of people looked exactly the same at first glance, the 'marks' on the badges on the chest of their black armors were not the same.
"Centurions … Decurions … Ordinary soldiers …"
Based on the badges on their chests, it was not difficult for Duan Lingtian to identify the Black Dragon Army soldiers.
The eight people in the first group were centurions from the Black Dragon Army; the second group were decurions from the Black Dragon Army; and the third group were ordinary soldiers from the Black Dragon Army.
"Greetings, Lord Captain!"
"Greetings, Lord Captain!"
…
Led by the eight centurions, the decurions and ordinary soldiers of the Black Dragon Army saluted Duan Lingtian and Jian Qiuping.
"Lord Commander asked me to bring your Chiliarch here to meet you … Now that I've brought him here, it's time to leave."
After more than 800 Black Dragon Army soldiers bowed to Duan Ling Tian and Jian Qiu Ping, Jian Qiu Ping looked at the soldiers in front of him and said with a smile, "However, all of you have to cherish this opportunity to spend time with your new captain."
The soldiers of the Black Dragon Army were puzzled by Jian Qiuping's words.
Jian Qiuping continued.
After all, he's only a Violet Moon Heavenly Celestial. I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on to his position for long! "
After saying this, Jian Qiuping laughed loudly and left like a gust of wind.
For a time, the entire place fell into a dead silence.
The eight hundred Black Dragon Army soldiers no longer looked at Duan Lingtian cautiously. Instead, a hint of disappointment could be seen in their eyes.
The eight centurions, in particular, had a deep frown on their faces.
"A Violet Moon Heavenly Celestial … Lord Huang Jibing's identity token was found by a Violet Moon Heavenly Celestial?"
"God is playing a big joke on us!"
…
After learning that Duan Lingtian was only a Violet Moon Heavenly Celestial from Jian Qiuping, the eight centurions of the Black Dragon Army who were once Captain Huang Jibing's subordinates were disappointed.
The decurions of the Black Dragon Army began to cause a ruckus when they regained their senses.
"Shut up, all of you!"
Duan Lingtian's expression darkened when he heard the commotion. He shouted coldly, suppressing the voices of the Black Dragon Army soldiers, causing them to fall silent.
"All of you … Do you think I don't exist?"
At this moment, Duan Lingtian's expression was as dark as it could get.
Even if he was only going to be a chiliarch for a few more days, he was now the leader of the Black Dragon Army. He was their chiliarch.
However, the soldiers of the Black Dragon Army did not treat him as their chiliarch at all!
Did they really think he, Duan Lingtian, was a pushover?
"Hmph!"
One of the centurions scoffed when he heard Duan Lingtian's words. He said disdainfully, "You're just a Violet Moon Heavenly Celestial. Even if you're promoted to captain through the back door, you won't be able to stay in that position for long.
Why are you putting on airs in front of us when you're weak? "
A sneer appeared on the centurion's face when he reached the end of his sentence.
However, the sneer on the centurion's face froze as soon as it appeared.
At the same time.
Bang!
"Ahh!"
The sound of a heavy object crashing into the ground rang in the air. A shrill cry rang in the air as well.
The Centurion of the Black Dragon Army who had regained his senses and mocked Duan Ling Tian seemed to have been sent flying by something. He cried out in pain and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Blood stained the sky. It was a dazzling sight.
At the same time, the other centurions who had just regained their senses and were about to say something shut their mouths.
They could tell from the collision earlier that Duan Lingtian's strength was not ordinary.
There was no way their new captain was just a Violet Moon Heavenly Celestial!
After all, as centurions of the Black Dragon Army, they were all Violet Moon Heavenly Celestials as well. Even so, it was difficult for them to catch the movements of their captain.
They put themselves in Duan Lingtian's shoes.
If they were in Duan Lingtian's shoes, they would not have been able to escape even if they were prepared.
"Captain, please calm down!"
One of the centurions who looked like an old man said in a trembling voice as he kneeled before Duan Lingtian when he regained his senses.
The Black Dragon Army had rules.
Those who disobeyed their superiors had the right to kill them!
